Thursday, December 15^th (Day 02): Cairo; Dahshour, Memphis, Saqqara, & Meet Aura and Aromatherapy Master

We will start our Day by Visiting Dahshour, which was closed for many, many years and just opened recently for visitors. Dahshur holds the Black & Red Pyramids on its territory.
 

Then we will continue our Visit to the Open-Air Museum at Memphis is one of the truly "must see" sites in Egypt!
 

Founded in the 1st dynasty (3100 B.C) by King Narmer, Memphis was the capital of Ancient Egypt, and the first capital city founded after the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt. It remained the capital city of Ancient Egypt throughout the Old Kingdom. Due to a large number of necropolises (these are ancient cemeteries) associated with Memphis, many Egyptologists believe that it was once an extremely large city, although there is no archaeological evidence, even today, that proves this point.

Afternoon we enjoy visiting Saqqara where we visit the most impressive of dozens of Old Kingdom Pyramids and tombs on the West Bank near Ancient Memphis, including the oldest pyramid, the Step Pyramid of Djoser, and its temple of sound and healing. About 2630 B.C. Imhotep, architect to King Djoser (Dynasty III), masterminded the Step Pyramid at Sakkara. The world’s oldest freestanding stone structure, this Pyramid consists of six tiers atop a mastaba, or low, oblong tomb, faced with cut stone. This magnificent site includes other Old Kingdom tombs, among them those that hold the earliest known hieroglyphs and The Pyramid Texts (Unas) that were the model for the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
 

We will visit Rug Factory on the way back to the hotel.
 

At the end of the day, we will visit a famous perfumery and meet Aura and Aromatherapy Master – Gamal, who developed his spiritual abilities since childhood and lived several years in the Sinai where he learned from the Bedouins and became a “Healer from the Heart.”

The City of Bubastis or Tell Basta is an important religious centre and one of the capitals of ancient Egypt, it faced the regiments coming from the east across the Sinai and encountered many of the conquerors and invaders. It was a transit and temporary residence for the Virgin Mary and her son Christ (peace be upon them) upon their arrival in Egypt.

The temple of Bastet is one of the main cult temples of the goddess Bastet in the Old Kingdom, which was associated with fertility and often acted as a protective deity. Originally, Bastet was depicted as a lioness and later as a cat.

This is a wonderful place to focus on physical healing. As you walk through the body of this temple, notice how your body feels and remember radiant health.

The duality of the light/dark, conscious/unconscious, yin/yang is apparent in this ancient site. One of the most powerful places in Kom Ombo is the Seat of Nertrality, which is placed on the exact centerline between the parts of the temple that are dedicated to Horus/Sobek and light/dark. Sail to Aswan.

The side chambers of the temple of Horus show the complexity of ancient rites; they include a healing chamber, a perfumery, and singers' rooms. One chamber called the House of Life, stored all of the sacred texts used in seasonal and daily rituals. Horus is associated with higher vision and clarity. This temple offers a deeper exploration of the Divine Masculine and Feminine qualities as they relate to the story of the Eye of Horus. The Eye of Horus greatly relates to his myth and power. The left eye represents the lunar, the moon, the intuitive, and feminine energy. The right eye is connected to the solar, the masculine, the action, and the yang energy. Both are necessary for true power to exist. Sail to Luxor.
